Quanzhou Hairpin Flower Experience
5.5
Xunpu Village/Donghai Taihe Plaza | >100 km from downtown
Address: 福建省泉州市丰泽区浔埔路60号
Highlights:
Quanzhou hairpin flower, also known as "haipin flower wei", is a unique folk custom in southern Fujian that has been passed down for thousands of years. The Xiapu women's headdress culture is the most famous. This living custom, which began in the Song and Yuan dynasties, carries the cultural memory of Quanzhou as the starting point of the ancient Maritime Silk Road. The girls from the fishing families in Xiapu have been arranging flowers in their hair since childhood. They interlace jasmine, jasmine and other flowers with ivory hairpins and silver combs to form a ring-shaped wreath. The gorgeous and elegant shape looks like a moving "garden on the sea". The production of hairpins emphasizes the combination of seasonal flowers and exquisite craftsmanship. The hair is often decorated with fish hook hairpins and butterfly buckles representing auspicious meanings. The layers of flower shadows embody the fishermen's awe of nature. This "head garden" technique not only reflects the life aesthetics of Quanzhou people who "use flowers as a crown", but also implies the fusion code of ancient Persian business culture and Central Plains culture. After being listed as a national intangible cultural heritage in 2008, the hairpin flower culture has been rejuvenated. Young people have integrated modern design on the basis of tradition, making it a popular carrier for experiencing southern Fujian culture. During every festival, women with hairpin flowers in their hair walk among the red brick old houses, becoming the most recognizable cultural symbol of Quanzhou.

Blue Tears Viewing in Pingtan
5.0
Tannan Bay/Jiangjun Mont | >100 km from downtown
Highlights:
Pingtan, an island in Fujian, has become the leading place to watch "blue tears" in China due to its unique hydrological conditions. "Blue tears" is actually a bioluminescent phenomenon, which is caused by two marine planktons, Noctiluca and fireflies. When they are stimulated by external stimuli such as waves hitting and ships passing by, they will emit a charming light blue light. Noctiluca-type blue tears are common from March to June, showing short blue ripples and spectacular scenes; from July to August, firefly-type blue tears are the main ones, which have a longer-lasting glow and a clearer grain. If you want to successfully "chase tears", remember to be prepared and pay attention to the weather forecast in advance. It is easier to succeed during the high tide period on south wind days, and the best viewing period is generally from 7 pm to the early morning. Pingtan's coastline becomes a stage for blue fluorescence under the cover of night. When the "blue tears" erupt, the waves rush in with blue glimmers, and the entire sea area seems to be sprinkled by the Milky Way, like a dream, making people feel like they are in a fairy tale world. In Pingtan, you will encounter blue tears and a romantic gift from the sea.
